    Directions: Today, we are going to learn about families on the periodic table. Please follow each step!    Part 1: The Simpsons Family     What do all the Simpsons Family characters have in common with each other? List 5 similarities.        Part 2: Thinking back to the Bubble Family.    

 I want you to think back to the Bubble Family Activity and answer these questions:

  1.) How did you organize the Bubble Family Members?   

  

  

2.) What did you notice about the family members when you went from the top of the Bubble Family to the bottom?     

  

     

3    .) How do you think the groups (remember they go UP AND DOWN) of the Periodic Table are similar to the groups (P AND DOWN) of the Bubble Family?   U

Part 3: Periodic Table Regions    The periodic table is divided into three different regions based on their physical and chemical properties. Go to this website: http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/geology/metals.html&edu=high to investigate.    What are those 3 regions?    1.    2.    3.      Next, take 3 different colored pencils and color the three regions on your FIRST periodic table on the back of this webquest.    What are the characteristics of metals?  1.    2.    3.    4.    5.      What are the characteristics of non‐metals?   1.    2.    3.    4.    5.      What are metalloids?       Part 4: Looking at the Periodic Table Families    We are now going to examine some of the families that we can find on the Periodic Table and see what they have in common with each other.    Go to the website: http://www.chem4kids.com/files/elem_families.html    1.) What are some examples of family names on the Periodic Table?  a.  b.

PERIODIC TABLE FAMILIES 

 What are periodic table families?  

 

 

Fill in the following chart  

Family  Group(s) on the table

1. alkali metals     

2. alkali earth metals     

3. transition metals     

4. carbon family     

5. nitrogen family
